Zlatan Ibrahimovic had surgery on his knee a few days ago and will be absent from the pitch for a period around 7 to 8 months.
The Swede veteran revealed in a message to the fans that he has suffered a lot in the last 6 months and that he played without an anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee (read more here).
Now, doctor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet who operated on the 40-year-old iconic forward in Lyon posted this following message on his Instagram account:
"In Lyon, we know that a lion never gives up. We wish you all the best in your recovery."

AC Milan technical director, Paolo Maldini, in his brilliant interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport (full statements here) spoke about what the future of the club is with Ibrahimovic. Here are his words:
"I spoke to him on Monday and we made an appointment in a fortnight . I see no problem in finding an agreement. Playing so little is certainly not at ease with him. We will see what happens in the next two weeks. Everything will be done for the good of him and Milan. From what I understand his intention is to move forward.”
